2012 October 24: Getting organized (1.50 hours)

Updated: 

I spent some time bagging, labelling, and organizing the parts into meaningful categories:

  • Aluminum that needs to be polished
  • Aluminum that needs to be cleaned with oxalic acid
  • Chrome parts that need to be rechromed
  • Steel parts that need to be painted
  • Steel parts that need to be powder coated
  • Steel parts that need to be re-zinc plated
  • Mechanical parts at need to go to my machinist
  • Mechanical parts that are ready to be re-assembled
  • Components that need to be rebuilt (starter, generator, etc.)

I also pulled out the pair of spare cylinder heads I have. I may still try to source just a right side cylinder head. We'll see.

I found two additional starburst rear drives in my parts cabinet. Neither are complete and ready to go, so I need to sort through the parts and see what I have that will work as a complete rear drive.
